30 things to do in Maidstone this weekend

Planning your weekend in Maidstone? Start here. We pulled every event from Friday to Sunday — all 30 of them — argued about them like we always do, and landed on the five below.

The spread is music and live theatre, with Saturday stacking up 19 events — the busiest day of the three. Most events are ticketed. Details below.

If you're new to Maidstone: Boisdale, Canary Wharf is hosting 4 events this weekend alone — it's as good a starting point as any.
